Possible influence of a cosmic repulsion on large-scale jets: geometric viewpoint

Abstract

Cosmic repulsion represented by a small positive value of the cosmological constant changes significantly properties of central gravitational fields at large distances, leading to existence of a static (or turnaround) radius where gravitational attraction of a center is just balanced by cosmic repulsion. Analyzing behavior of radial timelike geodesics in the Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime near its static radius we show that the particles with specific energy close to unity have tendency to slow down and cluster just below the static radius, forming clumps which, subsequently, start to expand uniformly due to cosmic repulsion. For central masses of $(10^6$-$10^{11}){\mathrm{M}}_{\odot }$ and current value of the cosmological constant $1.1\times 10^{-52}{\mathrm{m}}^{-2}$, this phenomenon takes place at distances of tens to hundreds of kiloparsecs from the center, being comparable with distances in which huge radio-lobes from some active galaxies were observed.
